I'll be frank: my husband ordered sashimi and regurgitated it instantly into his plate (I'd never seen him do that before). The sashimi had a very strange texture. My son ordered the calamari, which was the color of mahogany, and tasted like old leather. I had a salad; it was acceptable. My clam chowder came right out of a can and tasted that way. We were appalled. The people around us, however, had huge plates full of tasteless mahogany deep-fried things and seemed happy. My standards are higher. I don't eat fast food. I don't eat mushy sushi. I don't eat cheap soup out of a can with tons additives. If you expect your food to be fresh and delicious, this is not the place for you. If you actually seek out good food, and can tell the difference, Tides is a nightmare.
